We have initiated the development of a new application, which is exclusively compatible with Apple silicon chips. As our application utilizes artificial intelligence, it is not operational on Intel-based systems due to specific technical constraints. Using the Transporter app, we tried to submit a package that only supports arm64 but we received the following message:
"Validation failed (409)
Invalid bundle. The “live-mac.moises.ai.pkg/Payload/Moises Live.app” bundle supports arm64 but not Intel-based Mac computers. Your build must include the x86_64 architecture to support Intel-based Mac computers. For details, view: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/building_a_universal_macos_binary. (ID: 8b93f8c7-ac3d-4665-934a-e1a81832cc18)"
Upon reviewing your documentation, I noticed that: "To only support Macs with Apple silicon, your application must require a minimum OS version of macOS Monterey 12 or later and must never have supported Intel-based Macs."
Given that we launched a universal package as our initial version, I would like to inquire if there are any alternative approaches that would allow us to limit the distribution of this application to exclude Intel chips.
